“Customer service was solid”

Sacca G.
2/5/24

While purchasing tickets for Cabaret on Broadway, I accidentally purchased tics for the wrong date (had 2 windows open!). I immediately realized my mistake, found a customer service phone number and called. I explained what happened to 'Kate', and was told that it may be possible to exchange tickets for the date I actually wanted. About 4 hours later I received a call back with a confirmation that the exchange had gone through and that my new tics were available on the app. I know that SeatGeek policy is that all purchases are final, but because these tics were a few months out they were able to assist. I appreciated the customer service.

“Charge buyers up to 40+%”

The seller pay 10% and buyers pay up to 40% and you don't see the break down unless you put in the search price without fees. Can't reach a human to speak with This is the official site of MLB contact you team to tell them that fans are being ripped off

Hey Alexis, thanks for letting us know about your experience!

As you might know, SeatGeek doesn't sell tickets ourselves - rather, we're a service, and our Marketplace connects buyers and sellers on the secondary market. We work to help buyers find the very best deals in a lot of ways, but we can't control what sellers ultimately choose to sell their tickets for. Sellers instead post the tickets at whatever price they want to sell at, and buyers get to look for the best deals and choose which ones they want to buy. This means that it's pretty normal for there to be price fluctuations on the secondary market - cheaper tickets get snapped up during high demand times, while sellers price much lower if they aren't selling much.

We'll typically be able to help you find the best deals at the time you choose to purchase, but if getting the very lowest possible price is important to you, try checking in from time to time and watching for price drops or unexpectedly awesome deals to pop up. I also recommend making sure to check whether tickets are still available at the box office - if the event isn't sold out, sometimes the best deal is going to be straight from the source.

I hope this helps clear up what to expect when it comes to pricing. If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to call or email, and we'll be happy to help.

On Friday June12th I did an online search for Prince tickets for the 8pm show on June 14th at The Warner Theatre, in DC. We selected and paid for 2 tickets for the 8pm show in seats located in the mid-balcony using Ticket City via Seat Geek. At the time of placing the order they just gave a confirmation code and no other details confirming the seats or performance time. We received the 2 tickets 12hrs later for seats located in the orchestra section and for the 11pm show. We called Ticket City to query the mixup and they blamed Seat Geek saying that seat geek were selling tickets for the 11pm show under the guise of the 8pm show. The ticket agent admitted that many other customers had the same problem/complaint. Even though my credit card statement clearly states that I bought the tickets from Ticket City, they are refusing to give a refund for the tickets saying they held up their end of the deal in providing the tickets. Ticket City suggested we contact seat geek saying they were the ones responsible for the ticket/seat mix up. Ticket City refuse to take any responsibility claiming they are a reputable company. Seat Geek do not have a direct telephone contact number and online reviews claim Seat Geek to be fraudsters. We have emailed seat geek and have not yet had a response. My advice is to never use Ticket City OR seat geek. I am now stuck with 2 tickets (that I paid $578 for) to a 11pm show that I did not want to go to. I wanted tickets for the 8pm show.

Hi Joanne,

Apologies for the late reply here and for the mistaken listing. Hopefully, you heard back from our customer service team and been refunded by now, but if you have not, please let us know! We'll do everything we can to make this right.

We've expanded our customer service team, and we've set up a phone line since you first contacted us in June, so we should be better able to resolve this in a timely manner for you. You can reach the customer service team at hi@seatgeek.com or at (888) 506-4101.

I'm disgusted by their commercials. They're gross and I'm NEVER going to buy from SeatGeek because of this.

I found the tickets I wanted at the best price available. I really like the deal score feature so that I feel like I'm not overpaying.

SeatGeek T. – SeatGeek Rep

Hi there Abbigail,

Thanks so much for the feedback, here. We totally understand the frustration of not being able to attend an event you're excited for, and we're really sorry to hear you were unable to make it! Unfortunately, since we're a platform on the secondary ticket market (comprised both of professional sellers, and folks like you who cannot make their events, and are reselling their tickets to recoup the cost), we do have an all-sales-final policy that, in order to be fair to our sellers, in most cases we do have to adhere to-- with the exception, of course, of when the event itself is canceled.

When folks aren't able to attend the game or show they bought tickets for, we always suggest reselling tickets in the SeatGeek Marketplace. This is a great way to recoup the money spent to purchase the tickets, or even turn a small profit! We see a super high success rate among our users who choose to sell their tickets back on the Marketplace, and we love helping to get tickets into the hands of fans who can use them, while also helping users like you make back what they spent. Not being able to attend the event is bad enough; resale on the Marketplace acts as a small silver lining.

If you have any other questions regarding this or any other order on our platform, please don't hesitate to reach out to our CX team directly at the e-mail address or phone number below.

During the day of the event the tickets I purchased wouldn't show up on the day of the event, causing me to miss the event.
